Confident in the applause of a not very discriminating audience, the hon, member freely indulged in that would-be ironical and vituperative style of oratory forwhichunfortunately he has latterly become so very conspicuous. Few men among our public speakers can be, or have been, more eloquent on dae occasion than JOHN BRIGHT. There is a vigour of thought and an earnestness of purpose in his discourses which, joined to a harmonious flow of language, is well calculated to sway an impres sionable, and to enforce conviction upon an unthink ing, audience. For ourselves we must admit that, with all our sympathy for some of Mr. JOHN BRIGHT'S principles, and with all our appreciation of his great abilities, there is to us something essen tially repugnant in his dogmatic, ex cathedra style of laying down the law. He does not bring forward argument, but he delivers judgment. It We presume to differ from so great an authority, unmeasured abuse and pointless sarcasms are our lot. We are sorry for his sake that Mr. BRIGHT has adopted this style of vituperative declamation. It -is one'for which he is not well qualified. He can deal ponderous blows upon occasion, but the polished weapon of the oratorical gladiator is essentially out of place in his grasp. With a sin gular want of taste and discretion, Mr. BRIGHT in his speech of yesterday opened up again the vexed question of Mr. COBDEN and the Times. Painfully conscious, doubtless, of the general oblo quy which on that occasion had befallen his unwary c nampion, Mr. BRIGHT gave vent to his perhaps na tural vexation in some not very humorous or very ap propriate remarks. Oa the American question he, of course, expressed sentiments similar to those of Mr. GIBSON. Heartily do we agree with hi m at any rate in one aspiration—namely, th at through the instrumentality of this war Slavery may be ultimately extinguished. Very few, however, even of the strongest advocates of the Union, but will feel indignant at the violent manner in which, with his accustomed urbanity, he speaks _ of Southern independence as "the atrocious object of the leaders of this accursed insurrection." As the saying is, " abuse is not argument," but when argu ments fail too often abuse is a favourite resource. Very different was the dignified tone adopted by Mr. SCHOLEFIELD, who boldly advocated, in that meeting, a somewhat unpopular course. " He differed from a large number of his best and warmest friends, and from his hon. colleague, with whom he differed on no other subject." Adding "he had not changed his opinion, however un popular that opinion might be." That opinion is the same, indeed, which he had expressed in 1862—" I am not for intervention because that means war, I am not for mediati3n because that means failure, but I am for simple recognition "—recognition that is of Southern independence. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD, in fact, very boldly and emphatically, once more claimed his right to his own opinions. " He was told that in consequence of the course he had taken he would lose his seat. Deeply as he valued the honour they had conferred upon him, there was something he valued still more highly than a seat in Parliament, and that was the right to speak and act freely and independently within the scope of powers with which they themselves had intrusted him. If for the course he had taken they deemed him no longer worthy of representing them, he should bow to their decision without a murmur." This is the frank and manly language of one confi dent in his own integrity of purpose, and claiming from ethers the same forbearance that he himself is willing to concede. It is in this respect that Mr. BRIGHT is so deplorably wanting. We do not so much find fault with his opinions. Right or wrong he is free to entertain them. But what we do find fault with is his manner of expressing them. What in his instance is so especially repugnant to us, are his dogmatic and most dictatorial manner of asser ting his own individual views and his arrogant de nunciation of all who presume to differ from them. Such intemperance of opinion is not always an evi dence either of the stability of a cause or of the soundness of a principle, Englishmen have long prided themselves upon their commercial honesty, and the high spirit and fairness of English trade has often been favourably noticed by foreigners, as well as by their own countrymen. It is certain, however, that in every community there will be very many exceptions to such a rule; and the varied ramifications of our social life afford only too many opportunities to the crafty and designing. There will always be a suffi cient number of dupes forthcoming to make the speculation worth the risk, which, indee, is often merely nominal, for it is difficult to reclaim the money paid for a bad bargain, as it would have been for MOSES PRIMROSE to exchange the famous spectacles and their shagreen cases, after he had once displayed them to the wondering eyes of the gentle old Vicar. Our laws are stringent—our judges and juries generally incline to the side of the plaintiff in these cases—our public prints are always ready to expose fraud and to publish cautions; yet for all this an immense amount of undetected, or, if detected, unconvicted roguery, goes on in all direc tions. We have recently seen a very hard case brought before one of oar metropolitan magistrates. in which some persons had ben deprived of all their small earnings by means of a sham insurance company. In this instance the loss was the harder, as the money was paid with the view of obtaining assistance in case of prolonged ,illness, which actually took place. In instances like these, of course, the offence amounts to a serious THE SUN, LONDON WEDNESDAY EVENIN*G, JANUARY 27, 1864. ,lity. misdemeanour, but it is a very common thing to hear complaints of impositions of a different sort being practised upon the unwary. The law of trade marks was passed with a view of protecting the public from a deception which is only too tempting to unprincipled dealers. The substitution of the name of a firm of standing and character f)r one insignificant and worthless is a very easy and con venient mode of trebling the value of an article. To protect the public from this very common fraud the Trade Marks Act was passed, whose infringement we have lately been hearing so much about. Messrs. COLLARD and Co. have very properly come forward to defend their own interests as well as those of the public. It must of course be a matter of annoyance to those gentlemen to have inferior articles passed off as of their manufacture, and it is certainly a great annoyance to the purchaser to discover that the fine, strong looking instrument with the name of one of the first makers of the day staring conspi cuously on it, is worth about a quarter of what he has given for it. Yet, thanks to an obscure name being printed in very small letters above the more prominent title, this deception was passed off on many without being brought under legal notice. Messrs. COLLARD and Co. have, however, taken it up, and have pushed the matter resolutely forward, being apparently determined to avail themselves of the full powers of the act to protect the public from imposition and themselves from discredit and damage. Another commercial difficulty which has been just brought before Mr. Justice SURE, has been decided against the defen dants by a jury. A young attorney from the country came to London last May, when his atten tion was attracted by an auction-room in St, Paul's Churchyard, where persona were bidding for pic tures. Wishing to buy some, he entered the mart and commenced bidding for them: Part of those he purchased were for himself, part for others—though why he was appointed to an office which requires some special aptitude and judgment is a question that may very fairly be asked. He admittted that he was no great lover of the fine arts, a fact that was tolerably evident without that admission, yet hs had come to London to buy pictures, which pur pose he accomplished in St. Paul's -churchyard, by laying out £l5B 7s. Various opinions were given as to the real value of the pictures bought. It was contended that some of them were not by the artists of note whose names bad been appended to them, but the defendant had a moat ingenious excuse ready, asserting that they were the production - other gentlemen of the same name—which was no contradicted. It was admitted that the pictures in the plaintiff's possession were worth £lOO, bat the point that went against the defendant was the assertion, not disproved, that the same people were constantly in his shop bidding f6r pictures, and having them knocked down to them, but never removing them. It was further admitted by the defendant and his son, wbo was a picture dealer cn his own account, and divided his time and attention betvceen the action-room in St. Paul's Churchyard and a tavern in the Hay market, that the son had been compelled by threats of proceedings to return 1;1,200 to a gentleman who had purchased pictures of him. Under these circumstances it is not surprising that the jury should have given the plaintiff a verdict for £5B 75., being the balance of what he had paid, after deducting the estimated value of the pictures in his possession. The overcharge was not the worst part of the business, since the purchaser was not compelled to buy the pictures, and certainly brought his troubles on himself, by entering on a business he knew nothing about. So long as dupes are so readily obtained there is little hope that p ersons will not be found to take advantage of their impru dence. It must be the work of the law to repress such impositions as far as praeticabl and the rest every man must do for himself—by securing the assistance of some well qualified adviser in matters with which he is himself unacquainted, and by only dealing at places of known and assured respec tabi The borough members appear to think it neces sary for them to take some steps to acquaint them selves of the wishes of their constituents, and to set forward their own opinions previous to the meeting of Parliament. Lord FERMOY and Mr. HARVEY LEWIS addressed their constituents at some length, and their remarks appear to deserve attention. Lord FERMOY spoke with energy and earnestness, but his views seemed too much in accordance with the tactics of Ministers to afford scope for the delivery of any original opinions, or to enunciate a particular line of policy. Even in this limited arena, however, it will be difficult to follow him altogether. In the .., .. first place, he and his friends will find some diffi culty in persuading the House of Commons as glibly as he did his hearers the other evening, that a " more prudent course was never adopted by any Ministry than that of Lord PALMERSTON and his colleagues in relation to the American question." Neither does it appear altogether so evident that if we had adopted a different hne of action, we should have made things worse instead of better. If Lord FERMOY'S oration is the text-book from which the speakers on the Treasury benches are to draw their discourses, and bears any semblance to the line of defence about to be taken, the Government and their supporters will have a weary time of it. The seizure of the steam rams is also glorified in by his lordship. When he dropped these vexed questions of Ministerial agency, and proceeded to discuss the Schleswig-Holstein affair, however, he appeared to far greater advantage, and gave utterance to some home truths which might be of very great service to those whom they were intended for, were - _ it but possible to persuade them to take notice thereof. For instance, what could be better or more to the point than the passage which refers to the inconsistency and insincerity of Austria and Prussia in making so much ado about nothing, and insisting on the principle of nationality being carried out in all its integrity. Why do they not apply it at home, forcibly argued the speaker. Why does not Aus tria relax in her treatment of Venetia ? How much she regaids its value. Also Prussia might well be called to account for not relinquishing that part of Poland which she now grips." This is the only way in which to treat this subject ; and it is gratify. ing to meet with so spirited and satisfactory an ad dress on the eve of the meeting of Parliament. Were many to re-echo its sentiments, much benefit might accrue to the good cause of freedom, and pro gress might be made in impressing upon these con tinental tyrants the glaring inconsistency and manifest violation of justice which marks the course of their actions and shapes the fashion of their policy. The fact is that there is great cunning in all this parade of "nationality ;" and all those who are adepts in tyranny and well skilled in oppres sion can, when it suits their purpose, become the warmest advocates of constitutional measures, and discourse with glowing eloquence concerning the rights of nations and the claims of the people; at all events, there is much satisfaction in turning to the prophecy of Lord FERMOY, that if a war is in reality to take place the two States which have provoked it will be themselves the first to suffer for it. If ever a retributive event took place this would be one, and all right thinking individuals would rejoice to hear that the effects of the sinister catastrophe prepared for another had recoiled on these whose cupidity and want of proper feeling had occasioned the dilemma. With regard to home matters, Lord FERMOY'S remarks were very appropriate. The passage which bore reference to courts-martial is a very suitable one, and aptly illustrates the case. Who can say that the present system is not safe, cheap, or sound, and above all that it does not answer the ends of justice. It is satisfactory to find this all - important subject treated in the right spirit, and it will be for the interest of the army, the benefit of all concerned in future disputes, and the great advantage of the country generally, if these spirited remarks are the herald and precursor of others, similar in meaning and synonymous in aim, delivered within the walls of the House. Also, we find an allusion to the question of condemned criminals, and the able exposition of the failures and fallacies of the law in this respect elicited loud and universal applause. At any rate Lord FERMOY does not seem to propose either for himself or his fellow members a repetition of that dolce far niente, in which the occupants of the benches at the right hand of the Speaker have been wont to revel in during past years, greatly to their own convenience no doubt, but seriously to the detriment of the public interest, the injury of their political reputa tion, and the gradual extinction of their influence and importance. Mr. HARVEY LEWIS made some observations on the subject of metropolitan rail ways, which is likely to engage a great deal of attention this session, and concerning which some steps must be taken, or the results may prove as inauspicious as they were once thought to be pro mising. The hon. member also advocated the re duction of the interest on insurances, and truly said that the effect of lowering the duty from three shillings to one would be of great benefit. It is to be hoped that the essay may be made at all events, and thus a valuable service rendered to the many who stand in imminent need of it. The first day of the session and the last might almost bear compa rison with any of the lost chances, or shattered castles in the air of legendary romance or fairy hallucination. So much is 'to be done, so many advantages gained for all, is the universal cry during the whirl and excitement which ensue at the spring dawn of every new session ; but what affinity does the last bear to the first, when fictions must give place to facts. May the present session be an ex ception to the rule, and if no very shining or bril liant achievements distinguish our foreign policy, at any rate let some of these urgent home questions, so earnestly and eloquently advocated by the mem bers for Marylebone, be taken up with energy, and .reated with promptitude and foresight. of I THE GOLDEN LEGEND—HISTORIA CRUOIS.- When Adam was about to die, Seth went to the gate of Paradise to implore oil from the Tree of Mercy, but the Archangel Michael gave him a branch of the Tree of Knowledge, saying that when the tree bore fruit his father would be cured. Meanwhile Adam had died, and Seth planted the branch upon his grave. It grew into a large tree and was cut down by Solomon for his Temple. After various difficulties it was laid aside and came to servo as a bridge over a pool of water. The Queen of Sheba, prompted by a vision, warned Solomon that one who would be sus pended on that tree would by his death cause the destruc tion of the Jewish empire; and Solomon consequently had the tree buried deep in the earth. On that spot was afterwards formed the Pool of Bethesda, and the healing qualities of the wood appear to have impregnated the waters. At the appointed time, the wood rose to the surface, was taken by the carpenters to make the Cross, and, after the Crucifixion, was once more buried in the ground, where it remained until the period of the pious resesirches of Constantine and his mother Helena. The pictures, with doggrel verses below them, are 64 in number. The wood is made in this narration to pass successively and in immediate contact, with Moses, David, Solomon,Pybilla, the Queen of Sheba, Abias, Pilate, and Helena. The lioly Cross was not even then allowed to remain undisturbed after this ; but the Empress Helena took half of it away with her, and, the remaining portion was carried off by Cosdras, a conqueror of Jerusalem. Heraclius engaged to rescue the treasure, slew the plun derer on a bridge acres a the Danube, and making a sudden appearance before the heathen father of Cosdras, sum moned him at once to e mbraee Christianity. Without ap parently giving time for a reply he struck the tyrant's head off, as he sat upon his th roue, and finally restored the relic of the Cross to Jerusalem ‘-4thenomm, LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

The municipal report on the condition of the barracks on Broadway, near Astor House, has created much indignation. Sixty men, arrested for various military offences, were found confined in a room 15 by 20 feet square. Many had been there for months with no accommodation for sitting or lying down. The report states that they were covered with filth, and treated worse than wild beasts, and that the existence of such a place was an outrage on humanity, bringing disgrace to a nation.

Washington despatches assert that the reported raid by General Stuart upon Leesburg is an unim • portant affair, es he has not sufficient force to make a demonstration against the Federal right. General Lee is being reinforced by conscripts and is organising his cavalry for the spring campaign. General Butler has sent a messenger to City Point to arrange for an exchange of prisoners, and ordered the Confederate prisoners to be brought into his lines to await release. The New York Legislature has passed a bill to enable soldiers in the field to vote. The steamers Dare and Bendigo have been de stroyed off Wilmington.

Did I still dream, or was it indeed a reality ? The whole ship seemed shattered into fragments—l was hurled from my bed, and I stood in the darkness of death. Is it the sea that bursts in a dense volume into the cabin ? The decks seem to reel and quiver, to rise and fall. Now I thought it was perpendicular, then that the raging water was surging over its side up to the top. Stifled, I gasped for breath, the air was charged with sulphur, and the atmosphere such that it was death to remain. My mind became a moving panorama. The pictures are now indistinct, but, oh ! how vividly my whale life passed on the shifting scenes, with one dreadful certainty, that it was death that was now dropping the curtain on my earthly stage. The must distinct feeling I re- member of this moment of painful existence was —that this was death. Still, the whole period of the trance was but a moment; then instinct took the place of shattered reason, and it is amazing how rightly it guides. I found my hand on the door; by a great effort I pushed it open, and a rush of fresh air cleared away from my brain much of the shock from which I was suffering. Immediately my husband was standing by my side, and amidst the stillness that followed I heard his voice as he called loudly to those on deck for the skylights to be raised. The cabin was in utter ruin, the tables shattered, the chairs broken, and the place strewed with fragments of glass. At my feet an awful chasm yawned. Far down I could see a bright glare that told the ship was on fire. The explosion had passed close by where we slept, torn up the decks, both this and that beneath, and blown away the after - companion ladder by which we gained the poop. Fragments of the brass balusters alone hung down, which my husband seizing, by a vigorous effort, he gained the poop; then, stooping down, he grasped my upraised hands, and in a few minutes I was lifted to the top. I felt as if the weight of worlds was in my limbs, and that I was powerless to strug gle against the mountain crushing me down. My mind was keenly active, though my body was powerless, and I knew that it required the greatest exertion to raise me to the deck ; yet I could do nothing to assist myself, though imagination kept vividly before me the picture of the awful fiery chasm down which I should be precipitated if my husband failed in his effort. The change was something more than earthly when I stood on the deck, breathing the pure air, and looking on the tranquil shore of England, quietly resting, on this balmy morning, in the moon's soft light. I was there before the ship recovered from the shock ; but then arose the wildest screams, and a tumult burst forth as if Bedlam had broken loose. I heard Colonel M. give directions to a soldier who rushed up, and 1 saw him grasp the arm of a man who staggered as if he would fall, and place him on a seat. This was the pilot, who had left the deck but an hour before for his first sleep for nights, when he was blown from the toddy-table, where a bed had been made for him, through the skylight up to the poop. Then he disappeared, and I was left in the dress I had escaped in from my bed. My mind was still full of a dreamy though vivid idea of the actual circumstances, but, by degrees, the full reality came before me. The ship was loaded with saltpetre. What if another explosion should blow us into fragments! The dim coast was miles away, the fire rapidly gaining, and seven hundred human ,, beings on board. " Can we all be save the d . , I me ntally exclaimed. " H !" The la ow dreadful sc!ne w ill be as it draws to its final close dies, es caping through the ports of their cabins, i now . began to reach the poop, an d the ship was n de scribable commotion. To add to the alarm, a woman of unsound mind ran up the main gangway, utter in.. fearful cries. I turned towards her, and saw that in her arms she carried a child charred to a cinder. "Jt is not yours," exclaimed a soldier near. Sue immediately placed the little corpse on the deck, and speeded down again fo r her own little boy.—.lll-rs.Muter's Travels and Adventures.

NEW Longstreet has been heavily reinfo rced from Lee YORK, JAN. 1 4 (Eve nin g ). and Johnston's forces, and has taken up a strong position at the junction of the East Tennessee, Virginia, and Knoxville Railroad, 20 miles from Knoxville. His pickets confront the Federals at Blair Cross Road. It is expected that he will s h o rtly resume the offensive. A heavy cavalry fight occurred on the 10th near Strawberry Plains, eight miles from Knoxville, the Confederates being repulsed with serious loss. reinforced by Gen. Johnstone has been la r g el y extra troops, and maintains a bold front at Dalton and Tunnel-hill. Gen. Grant is making a tour through his de partment. The 7laryland legislature have voted, by 1 (?) to 15, in favour of calling a convention to carry out emancipation. The Scotia, City of London, and Hibernian have arrived out. NEW YORK, JAN. 15 (Evening The New York, Times denies the report tha Longstreet had been re i n force. Two blocks of buildings houses are reported to and several large ware have been destroyed in Charleston on the 20th by Gill m ore's shells. The city was almost deserted by the military. It is rumoured that Stuart hes made a raid into Leesburg, the Federals falling back to Fairfax. The guerilla leader Morgan has had a public re ception in Richmond. General Burnside has been appointed to recruit and fill up the 9th Army Corps, of which he is com mander, to the number of 50,000 men. Gen. Meade has made a speech in Philadelphia, stating that as soon as the weather moderated and the season allowed active operations in Virginia would recommence. The war would have to be ended by hard fighting,and he trusted peace would be restored by next s ummer. An animated debate has taken place in the Senate on the resolution to expel Senator Davis, of Kentucky,for submitting treasonable resolutions. Davis defended himself, declaring that if expelled he would go home among the people of Kentucky, and raise a cry of oppression, usurping tyranny, and revolution against the faithless men having charge of the Government. There were men in the administration, recreant to their trust, trying to subvert the constitution. In the co ndition of the States he had a right to call a con vention, and do away with the best Government on earth, and he called for such a convention that the people might take the war into their own hands, and reconstruct the nation upon the principles of a compromise and of liberty upon which Washington and his associates acted. It is not believed that the resolution for expul sion will pass. Senator Lane has introduced a bill into Congress prohibiting the sale of gold at a higher price than that yaid in New York for United States S ix p er Cent.

The governor of New Jersey, in his message to Charles Mackay's New Poems. Studies from the Antique and Sketches from .Nature. By Charles Mackay. One vol., pp. 271. Virtue Brothers. Dr. Charles Mackay is here, again, in all his power and freshness. He has written few better things than are to be found in this charming little volume. It is worthier, far worthier as an expres sion of his genius as a Singer, than either "A Man's Heart" or " Under Green Leaves." Unworthy of him, those two last effusions of his muse were not, it is true—but this, we repeat, is far, far worthier. There are lyrics in the volume before us, particu larly in the later moiety of it, not unworthy of the author of " The Voices from the Crowd" and " The Voices from the Mountain"—the Poet of " Egeria" and of the " Salamandrine." It is the distinguishing merit of Charles Mackay that he comes precisely under that category to which one of the most saga cious Statesmen of the North aspired to be (shall we say ironically) relegated—namely, among those puissant few who are, in literal truth, the Popular Song-writers. Such an one, indubitably, is Charles Mackay. And his duties as journalist, his responsi bilities, solemn and weighty enough, Heaven knows,as Special Correspondent from the very central point of the American seat-of-war, to the world's greatest newspaper, his rubbing elbows with the Federal population, his " location " during several months past in the great northern outport on the opposite shores of the Atlantic, have in no way jarred with his sense of harmony as a lyrist, have in no way tended to the draggling or besmirching of those white singing-robes he has so long worn amongst us with so much natural grace and dignity. He has demonstrated, in a very singular manner— by his letters in the Times upon the one hand, and now upon the other by this new volume of poetic " Studies from the Antique and Sketches from Nature"—that the duties of Special Cor respondent are in no way whatever incom patible with the vindication anew of his lyrical powers in all their pristine beauty and freshness. We hail his reappearance among us, with this new book of his in his hand, therefore, with gladdened eyes and a gladdened heart. And he must forgive us when we do so, if we pass over, with comparatively but slight emotion, the refined and scholarly versification, constituting the bulk of his "Studies from the Antique"—Studies, in the which he celebrates, often with consummate artistic grace, .euch themes as " The Dream of Anacreon," and " The Garden of Nemesis," and " The Genius of Phidias"—passing over these some what hastily, we dare say, but still, we conceive, with a certain excusable wilfulness—in order that we may come at once to that second half of the volume which most assuredly, to our mind, does not come off "second best"—those " Sketches from Nature" in which Charles Mackay is, beyond all doubt, truest to his own genius. In testi mony of which, it is only necessary to turn to almost any one of the twelve varied lyrics, entitled " Heart-sore in Babylon"—lyrics, that in one rapid sweep, touch so many thrilling chords from the treble to the diapason. And the " Songs"—with which the book closes—are they not set to their own music ? Let the an swer to that be, no syllable of our own, but the very first song in the collection—Zo., these two exquisite stanzas, worthy, to our mind, of taking their place as the pendant, or (might we not even call them ?) the corollary to those lovely verses of Pope, " The Dying Christian to his Soul !" Charles Mackay's companion Lyric running thus : DYING : A CHORUS OF ANGELS. Come away I come away I Life is too sad for thee; Chill are the winds on thy delicate breast I I Earth is too rude for thee—Heaven shall be glad for thee— Come away, lovely one : come to thy rest 1 Low in thy narrow bed Lay down thy gentle head ; Give back to mother Earth all she can crave; All thy mortality, Doomed to finality, Leave it behind in the dust of the grave. Come away I come away Earth is not meant for thee : Beautiful spirit, mount up to the sky ! Men who have lost thee shall mourn and lament for thee, Thou shall rejoice in thy glory on high. Spread thy bright wings, and soar Spotless tor evermore ; Sin-stained no longer, but white and forgiven : Heir of infinity, Robed in divinity, Come away, happy one—come up to Heaven I Or, in another mood, take this sigh from the very soul, as made articulate thus most tenderly and pathetically : THE LOST JEWEL. Long ago, ah, long ago 1 I lost a jewel of greater worth Than the loveliest lady of the earth Could hang on her bosom as white as snow, — Or any Emperor flushed with wine Could place on a maiden's finger fine, And say, "Beloved, be thou mine!" Long ago, ah, long ago! I lost it wandering to and fro— Fairer and purer, brighter far Than the Morn or Evening Star. Could I make it mine again, To clasp it, hold it, and retain, I'd be groater than the King, Richer than the bloomy spring. And where I lost it well i know ; Skill cannot trace it, Or wealth replace it, Or anything. else this world can show,— This jewel so bright, My heart's delight, Lost in another's heart long ago,— My richer than Ind My peace of mind, Lost for ever I ah, long ago. For ourselves we are not ashamed to acknowledge that our first reading of those closing words was accomplished only with moistened eyes. Here and there scattered through these lyrics, as the cadence of their verse chimes in with the varying mood of the past, as he dreams and sings, now in dejection, now in scorn, in love, in tenderness, in pity—fragmentary passages, casual felicities of phrase, spontaneous exemplars of the Horatian curiosa jelicitas ver borum, arrest our attention, and cling thenceforth, as haunting snatches of song, to our memery. Thus in the first breathings of the Poet, as one " Heart sore in Babylon," in the Poem entitled " Self assertion," after saying, or rather singing— And we shall speak--I and my sorrow — All that we think, all that we know, All that we see in this Babel burrow, Where the little emmets come and go, ,he lyrist, one while, exclaims, in burning words The soldier, fighting his country's battles, With bosom bare to a hundred guns, Tells not to all that he's a coward When he thinks of his home and his little ones: and—further on—the lyrist, again, cries out in anguish, how truthfully ! how powerfully ! Awl if I choose to don the motley— Motley shall be the garb I'll wear ; And if tomorrow T go in sackcloth, It may be velvet to my despair! Perhaps the lyric among all those comprised in Charles Mackay's new volume, perhaps the one in which his voice might be the most easily recog nised, as it were, from its mere intonation, is the one entitled " The Right to Disdain," ending with this true Mackayan stanzl— Were I far more blight Than the heavenly light, More pure than the snow IN here the glaciers grow, And as undefiled as a little child Dead and forgiven And gone to heaven, I should not gain The right to disdain, Or to stand apart From my brother's heart, Or turn my face From a sinner's place, Or breath one word of hate or scorn To the meanest wretch that ever was born. Delicate, little, sweet, passing thoughts and ima geries there are in the book that we should have liked to have here loitered over a while, such for example as that sigh for rest— Oh, I long to lay me down In the green ear th s bosom brown, And to let the daisies grow Fresh above use and my woe. - Or as that dainty fancy, not new in itself, but thus at any rate most freshly syllabled : The humblest dewy daisy That blossoms on the sod, May point like the pine tree skyward, And drink the light of God. Enough, however, if—i ns t e ad of lingering longer thus idly over the pages of Dr. Mackay's new volume of poetry—not verse, but poetry—we here reiterate, as cordially as unaffectedly, that frank and genial greeting already accorded by us at the outset of our remarks to a little book, the delicately-tinted leaves of which are as welcome te us as the flowers in spring -time. . -)~_~ e,- 11SVD T ' HER MAJESTY' Osroß4O, San. 26 er he Queen, Princess L and Pri" egg j 5 .ric T e arrived at Csborne, from Windsor Castle , 0° after five o'clock yesterday afternoon. ----,------ The Prince and Princess of W 8 5' the Yesterday morning his Royal Hig hnel3s the Prince of Wales, left the Ratchet London and South-Western Railway by the , a s train for Richmond, where he shot for some P°,s, In the park.
